Today I started the day having breakfast with a milk bread with fig jam and I thought it was time to share with you the recipe for these Soft and fluffy buns. Because although they may seem terribly laborious, the truth is that preparing these milk breads is relatively simple.
Butter, milk, eggs and flour are the main ingredients, ingredients that you probably have in your pantry, am I wrong? As for time, these breads need to be raised, so they will require some planning, but in four hours you could have them done.
Do you dare to prepare them? With our step-by-step instructions you will not have any difficulty in doing so. Maybe the first time they will not be perfect or not as pretty as you would like, but give them a chance! You will be able to enjoy them just the same with a fruit jam or a nut cream for breakfast.
